Marietta, Georgia is a modern city with historical roots located northeast of Atlanta in Cobb County. It encompasses a 22 mile area with an elevation of over 1,000 feet. The city has a population of nearly 60,000 people, which is more than twice what it had 50 years ago. In addition to its large number of residents, Marietta draws many visitors annually to a variety of attractions, including:
- 18 parks
- 3 live theater stages
- Museums, including one dedicated to Gone With the Wind
- World class restaurants and nightlife
- Farmers’ market in the downtown square
While living in Marietta has its benefits, it can be also be a very challenging in terms of travel due to its high population density, and the number of drivers on the road.
Marietta’s Traffic Congestion and Car Accidents Problem
One of Marietta’s biggest problems with such a large and growing population is traffic related accidents on its road system. Many would argue that Marietta’s streets and highways were not designed to accommodate the extraordinary number or motorists that travel them each day. Major national interstate I-75 also runs through Marietta, increasing the opportunity for catastrophic collisions at high speeds. In addition, the city’s drivers and passengers are susceptible to accidents caused by other factors, including:
- Driver impairment
- Poor weather conditions
- Unsafe roadways or inadequate signage
- Negligent truck drivers
